I want to try asking more questions online since it has become so difficult to find things with search engines.
But I don’t really know where to post my questions?
How do you decide what community to post to?
For example:
I have a question about meditation.
This looks pretty straightforward, I search for ‘meditation’ under all communities.
I find 2 communities called Meditation. (I can find more if I search on another lemmy instance, but they don’t seem to show up on my current instance)
Both of them look rather inactive.
Do I just post to both of them? Is it possible to post to multiple communities simultaneously?
Should I look for other communities, what to search for?
Search for relevant communities.
Look at what instance they are hosted on.
Choose the one that isn’t hosted on Lemmy.world
Post there to try and help foster engagement in communities away from .world
Link me to whatever .world controversies are afoot, please. Haven’t heard.
There has been some recent drama relating to the usual knee jerk defederation of an entire instance based on one admins personal opinion but I don’t have any links.
The dog shit admins / moderators aside my main issue is placing so many communities on that one instance just re-centralises things again and that is very bad for the fediverse as a whole imo
Too big and centralisation concerns
